Review

You can’t help but be swept up by the history and heritage at the Lygon Arms. How juicy and delectable that Oliver Cromwell slept here the night before the Battle of Worcester, and how marvelous that Charles I used to frequent one of the oak-paneled chambers to drink great goblets of wine with his retinue. It’s all so ridiculously heraldic that it could teeter into theme park territory, but hotel has managed to hold on to the building’s integrity. For all the pomp and circumstance—from the soaring vaulted ceilings of the baronial-style Great Hall, stags’ heads and coats of arms, to the tartan carpets, ancient leather armchairs and huge inglenook fires—it’s refreshingly unstuffy. The beds are big, the bathrooms work, and if you spend all afternoon drinking sherry in the garden, no one will bat an eyelash.

Who Should Stay

Those who are looking for a variety of on-site amenities and activities. The multiple cottages on site are great for groups of friends or families who need a little more space.
